Growing up in the Maitland and Newcastle area before venturing to Lake Macquarie and finally settling back in Newcastle, this self taught musician has picked up Drums, Bass, Electric, Acoustic, Vocals and maybe a song or 2 on keys, using nothing but reading material and his ears. ("Ok, ok there was about 2 months of having a drum tutor"). Having a musical father and an absolute plethora of music to influence him throughout the years his sound is forever changing and evolving through his constant appreciation and love of multiple conflicting styles and strengths.

The music is always the same, and always different simultaneously. It can be powerful and ethereal, as well as honest and rocking. With a predominant influence coming from Jeff Buckley it's easy to see the similarities reflected through the subtle and sometimes dramatic shift in style and sound between songs. Currently finalizing and putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album.

Over the years Wesley has had the immense pleasure to play and work alongside some extremely talented musicians, while also managing to promote his own musical directions on many stages. Playing at The Vacy Blues N Roots Festival in 2014 alongside 8 Ball Aitken (Nashville) & McAlister Kemp. Provided a dazzling acoustic support for Phil Jamieson of Grinspoon in 2016. Performed on stage with 5 of Newcastle's finest musicians to bring to life an exceptionally ethereal Jeff Buckley Tribute show in 2018 which shattered all expectations.

Biography
Born in Peru, David Javier was introduced to his native music at an early age inspiring him to explore and develop the vast and rich styles of South American music.He picked up his first guitar as a teenager and soon after, pursued the bass in search of bigger things. He began to experiment and explore other world music styles. Performing at consulates and embassies around Peru exposed him to other cultures and musical genres. He then began touring the globe solidifying his passion and pride for Latin music.
After migrating to Australia in 2005, he quickly established himself into the music scene forming his own Latin band… The White Band. With his vision, David has become the ‘ring master’ for many musicians, providing a fresh approach to Latin musical experiences.
The White Band is a high energy ‘Latin/Salsa Band’ comprising of international musicians sharing their love of Latin music with Australian audiences. The range of Latin styles performed by the band include Salsa, Merengue, Cha Cha Cha and Latin Jazz reflecting the diverse musical cultures of individual members, drawing from Colombia, Cuba, Peru, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
The Hunter Valley and its entertainment precincts have been enriched since 2010 after embracing The White Band and providing them with their current home base. 

The White Band’s live shows are a true spectacular and an electrifying event; a reflection of the authentic experience of Latin America. Salsa dancers and romantics alike have been left captivated. With songs predominantly sung in Spanish, and performed by musicians from a variety of South American backgrounds and influences, The White Band will leave you breathless!

Recent sell out crowds have taken advantage of Salsa dance lessons provided prior to the band performing, enabling audiences to fully indulge in this unique Latin experience. It’s no wonder we are witnessing an ever-growing legion of loyal fans.

“... The White Band, a true Latin musical experience... dripping with the romance of Colombian salsa and as soothing as classic Peruvian Pisco...”
